I am a self-diagnosed basketball junkie. I currently coach elite development boys in Canada and love every second of it. It is challenging, invigorating, nerve-wracking, time consuming and extremely rewarding.

I watched a show called Sext up Kids on Doc Zone about the prevalence of pop culture turning into porn culture and the effects on kids. I was inspired to do this video just to help deal with some of the themes the show brought up for girls. Here is the link to the show http://www.cbc.ca/doczone/episode/sext-up-kids.html

There is no question that raising girls can be very worrisome so I came up with 10 strategies to help them navigate their way through this very challenging time. Click here for my video http://youtu.be/locti1iQ5ug

Here are some drills I have come up with or have come across to teach spacing principles to kids and teenagers.

Grover's Drill with 3 and 4 players (near.... far). Spots 4 out motion with spots to fill on the inside. Zones where team is learning to pass the ball (no dribbling) to the offensive end where their team is scoring. Squares where 2 players cannot be in one of the 12 squares together at the same time. http://youtu.be/GRdpQ2mhkCY

Eating is for energy not for fun, therapy or entertainment. The food you eat contains nutrients your body needs to fuel your muscles and your brain so think about what you are injesting. You are what you eat right now! The habits you are creating around food can last your whole life. http://youtu.be/DtYaG_MhYr4
